The Olive Grove

Malenchini Wine Estate

Oggi l’azienda agricola Malenchini gestisce direttamente circa 12.000 olivi, per un’estensione di circa quaranta ettari sulle colline che circondano la Villa Medicea di Lilliano.

The fruits of many years’ experience

Today the Malenchini farm has about 12,000 olive trees, on around forty hectares on the hills surrounding the Villa Medicea di Lilliano. Altitude, exposure to the sun and well-drained soil are important elements for the quality of extra virgin olive oil. The variety of olive trees and our processing techniques combine to create an incomparable product with a distinctive flavor, which articulates all the nuances of this land. Our organic extra virgin olive oil is produced starting from typical Tuscan cultivars: Frantoio, Moraiolo, Leccino and Pendolino.

The extra virgin olive oil production

Shortened periods between harvesting and pressing the olives allow us to obtain a quality extra virgin oil, without altering the unmistakable flavor contained in each fruit. The pressing is carried out cold using the Piera Lisi system.

The extra virgin oil obtained is then stored in stainless steel tanks and bottled without oxygen at a controlled temperature, to preserve all of its natural freshness.
